Why treat gum recession?
- Unattractive smile
- Root sensitivity and decay
- Loss of supporting bone and potential tooth loss
- Plaque build-up and advanced periodontal disease
- Risk of future recession
Gum recession is sometimes treated by retrieving soft tissue from the roof (palate) of your mouth. However, removing a section of your palate creates unnecessary pain and discomfort.
Alloderm Gum Grafting is our treatment of choice for gum recession.
AlloDerm® is obtained from tissue bank and has been processed to remove all cells creating a regenerative tissue matrix that does not interact with your own cells. Its success in soft tissue treatments is documented by more than 10 years of dental applications and research.
AlloDerm® enables your clinician to restore your smile without retrieving tissue from the palate, and it provides a natural esthetic outcome and a predictable alternative to using your own tissue.
Recovery instructions can vary for each patient and will be provided by your dentist. Most patients report minimal soreness after 24 hours of the procedure with the recommended antibiotics and mouth rinse. Thin sutures are placed during the procedure and are recommended to stay for a few weeks to allow for proper gum tissue healing and positioning.
